The following are questions Eric Bischoff answered on his Facebook page:
Question: I hope to see a 2 hour show filled with exciting wrestling and compelling storylines. WWE can't compete with TNA's in-ring product. Also, the TNA debut of Rob Van Dam would be really awesome!
Eric Bischoff: Not sure what Rob's plans are...love to have him. He's a great guy and an awesome talent!
Question: Please dont allow Vince Russo to come back. Thanks. I HATE the four sided ring still but Im still an Impact fan
Eric Bischoff: He never went anywhere! Enjoy working with the team. How can you "hate" a wrestling ring?
Question: Eric, we met years ago, albeit briefly, and I've always been admirer of your work. I think a major storyline still needs to be "who makes the cut" i.e. we have 30 guys and 15 "guaranteed" (what "guaranteed" means you decide) but keep the sense of "proving yourself" pressure on. Regards SteveV
Eric Bischoff: Thats a whole lot of TV time!
Question: Hey Eric, I watched Impact for the first time in a while last night, and you guys have truly done an outstanding job so far! I have one simple question regarding the move to Monday nights: why start just as WWE is building toward Wrestlemania? That tends to be when they bring out their best anyway, and I found the timing of Impact's Monday night debut very interesting.
Keep up the great work, and here's hoping TNA makes Vince shake in his boots!
Eric Bischoff: I responded to that question earlier today. All things considered, this IS the best time in my opinion. EB
Question: Eric, one issue I had with iMPACT was with AJ. While I think much of the stuff he is doing with Flair/Pope is fantastic, I am just hoping TNA does not cross the fine line between mentorship and just plain Charles Robinson Ric Flair Copy-cat. Many people have been saying that and are concerned that AJ will be turned into a copy of Flair, when really, he is a completely different person in real life, thus, he will be acting out a character rather than playing an amped up version of himself. I just fear it will be taken too far to the point where AJ is little natch and not AJ Styles.
Eric Bischoff: Interesting point. Thanks. EB
